+- 2026-10-07, product owner: a wrong password still downloaded. In a desktop browser a wrong
+  password got nothing, but the page fetched the encrypted APK before checking the password,
+  and a phone browser can keep that fetch as a download (still encrypted, not installable). The
+  page now opens a small sealed check with the password first and fetches nothing when it is
+  wrong; tried in the browser: a wrong password made no request, the right one downloaded.
